When Bob was inspired to buy an 11-acre piece of land in the rolling Northern Piedmont region of Virginia between Warrenton and Culpeper, he also knew he wanted an old house. Gradually he transformed both the land and the house, adding fields of flowers, an airbnb to welcome guests, a greenhouse, six hoop houses and a glorious Pavilion for weddings and events.
About Us
Today, you can walk through the gardens and cut your own blossoms, buy vases and art in the gift shop, choose a succulent to take home from the greenhouse, and much more. Wollam Gardens is also an arboretum.
The greenhouse was built in 1990, two years after Bob bought Wollam Gardens. It’s a magical, warm place in the winter, and, in the spring, it is full of seedlings and trays of plants getting ready to be moved to the field. Bob keeps tropical plants such as banana plants and night-bloom cereus that migrate outside in the summer.
